What type of work have I done and who have I worked with?
My career background is very Corporate (working with Directors, VP’s, MD’s, etc.). It includes Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Marketing roles and lots of admin (which I love).
Since becoming a self-employed Virtual Assistant, I have worked with (amongst others) a print and design company, a gardener, a healer, a counselling student, a window shutters company, a nurse, a marketing company, and an electric heating company. I’ve also been VA to a VA for years now!
Most new clients involve using a new system as there are so many available! I pick them up quickly and love adding to my skill set.
To give you an idea of what clients have asked me to do, here are some of the tasks I have been asked to carry out:
Email management
Diary management
Download Facebook and Instagram leads (of people requesting a quote) and schedule the survey appointments in client calendar
Online research (e.g. steps to hiring/firing someone, steps to change limited company name, background information on companies and people, onboarding new employees)
Source light fittings, wardrobes and kitchen cabinets
Organise Google Drive
Create Google Form and Google Docs digital checklist
Learn ClickUp
Tidy up blogs (grammar etc.)
Facebook Group gatekeeper
Transcribe (type up audio)
Lots of proofreading
Upload newsletters and emails to ActiveCampaign
Work with a client in Airtable (pretty much all comms are in there!)
Assist at in-person events
Upload blogs to GoHighLevel (including finding suitable images to include)
Schedule social media for TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn
Compile social media prompt calendars
Research venues
And much more besides!
